Same here. Why in the name of all that is holy would anybody decided to drop the special episode from the DVD release of a series to put a crossover episode from another series in the set!! It makes no sense.

You can still purchase the season pass for all 3 seasons from iTunes, I believe. If one was to want to do that. It's better for the show if people use that kind of source to watch any of the seasons if they have iTunes.

Allow me to venture a guess. I am guesssing that they only had X amount of space on the DVD set and they couldn't fit all of it. So there is a choice.

From a fan's perspective (that is our's) it makes sense to keep only the Eureka crossover out of the set and thus include the Christmas special. After all I am buying a Warehouse 13 DVD set because I am a fan gosh darn it!

However, from a business perspective it would be better to promote Eureka by including an Eureka episode into the DVD set thus exposing more fans to Eureka. Chances are that more fans of WH13 will be curious and seek out Eureka as a result. Thus they opt out of having the Christmas special (which isn't really part of the season) in favor of promoting another show to an audience who is more likely to watch it.

From their perspective it is fiscally a bright idea...however that just annoys us to no end.

Re: Thinking about trying this series out...

I figured it was for marketing purposes as well. But they crammed five episodes onto the last disc (including the Eureka episode) as well as special features. They surely could have pushed the 9th episode (first on that last disc) to the second disc and put the Christmas episode on the last disc.

You make perfect sense. However, if I have to buy the Christmas episodes seperately I can guarantee you'll hear my profanity laced tirade that will be directed at Scyfy from wherever you live.

It didn't have to do with Warehouse 13. He made a joke about France knighting Salma Hayek and saying "No wonder they haven't won a war in centuries" and I replied saying "Eddie, how many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris? Who knows, it's never been done before" and he replied "Hey, um, that's....(looks around, making sure nobody is listening)....funny."

Then I told him "Your reply made my day. Seriously. And thank you for your work on W13. That show is awesome." but he hasn't responded to it yet, if he even will.
